Walsh and Thompson seal 2-0 success at Tottenham

Liverpool and West Ham win to boost survival hopes

Chelsea defeated Tottenham 2-0 to boost their faint hopes of retaining the Women’s Super League title, as Madonna watched from the stands at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Goals from Keira Walsh and Alyssa Thompson either side of half-time ended Chelsea’s run of back-to-back defeats and left Sonia Bompastor’s team nine points off the leaders Manchester City, who lost 1-0 against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium earlier on Sunday.

Madonna had watched her daughters, Estere and Stella, play for Tottenham in an under-14 academy game on Saturday. The 67-year-old pop singer then turned up to watch the senior women’s team on Sunday, who stay fifth in the table after failing to capitalise on early momentum.
